This paper presents an intelligent traffic monitoring system using wireless vision sensor network that captures and processes the real-time video image to obtain the traffic flow rate and vehicle speeds along different urban roadways. This…
Ride Hailing Services (RHS) have become a popular means of transportation, and with its popularity comes the concerns of privacy of riders and drivers. ORide is a privacy-preserving RHS proposed at the USENIX Security Symposium 2017 and…
Recent work in traffic analysis has shown that traffic patterns leaked through side channels can be used to recover important semantic information. For instance, attackers can find out which website, or which page on a website, a user is…
The importance of human mobility analyses is growing in both research and practice, especially as applications for urban planning and mobility rely on them. Aggregate statistics and visualizations play an essential role as building blocks…
Web traffic is a valuable data source, typically used in the marketing space to track brand awareness and advertising effectiveness. However, web traffic is also a rich source of information for cybersecurity monitoring efforts. To better…
A measure of privacy infringement for agents (or participants) travelling across a transportation network in participatory-sensing schemes for traffic estimation is introduced. The measure is defined to be the conditional probability that…
Today's mobile devices sense, collect, and store huge amounts of personal information, which users share with family and friends through a wide range of applications. Once users give applications access to their data, they must implicitly…
PeopleTraffic is a proposed initiative to develop a real-time, open-data population density mapping tool open to public institutions, private companies and the civil society, providing a common framework for infection spreading prevention.…
While smartphones and WiFi networks are bringing many positive changes to people's lives, they are susceptible to traffic analysis attacks, which infer user's private information from encrypted traffic. Existing traffic analysis attacks…
Cooperative perception is crucial for connected automated vehicles in intelligent transportation systems (ITSs); however, ensuring the authenticity of perception data remains a challenge as the vehicles cannot verify events that they do not…
Caching is an approach to smoothen the variability of traffic over time. Recently it has been proved that the local memories at the users can be exploited for reducing the peak traffic in a much more efficient way than previously believed.…
Instant Messaging (IM) applications like Telegram, Signal, and WhatsApp have become extremely popular in recent years. Unfortunately, such IM services have been targets of continuous governmental surveillance and censorship, as these…
Location and mobility patterns of individuals are important to environmental planning, societal resilience, public health, and a host of commercial applications. Mining telecommunication traffic and transactions data for such purposes is…
Virtually every connection to an Internet service is preceded by a DNS lookup which is performed without any traffic-level protection, thus enabling manipulation, redirection, surveillance, and censorship. To address these issues, large…
Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs) facilitate vehicles to wirelessly communicate with neighboring vehicles as well as with roadside units (RSUs). However, the existence of inaccurate information within the network can cause traffic…
Mobile applications continuously generate DNS queries that can reveal sensitive user behavioral patterns even when communications are encrypted. This paper presents a privacy enhancement framework based on query forgery to protect users…
Over the past few years, traffic congestion has continuously plagued the nation's transportation system creating several negative impacts including longer travel times, increased pollution rates, and higher collision risks. To overcome…
While pre-trained large models have achieved state-of-the-art performance in network traffic analysis, their prohibitive computational costs hinder deployment in real-time, throughput-sensitive network defense environments. This work…
Traffic prediction aims to forecast future traffic conditions using historical traffic data, serving a crucial role in urban computing and transportation management. While transfer learning and federated learning have been employed to…
We estimate vehicular traffic states from multimodal data collected by single-loop detectors while preserving the privacy of the individual vehicles contributing to the data. To this end, we propose a novel hybrid differential privacy (DP)…
